Polar Bear Week

Did you know that a polar bear's fur isn't actually white but more translucent and reflective? Did you know they have black skin underneath their fur? Yep, totally true.

Another great animal week has come and gone but what's left is some pretty great memories. We met with Erin, one of the bear zookeepers at Brookfield Zoo and she took the time to teach us about how special these bears are. Hudson, one of the male polar bears, smelled her and recognized her voice almost immediately and came right over to the window. It took our breath away to see his massiveness up close. Our visit ended with an amazing splash in the pool that I'm grateful I captured. It was the most rewarding zoo visit to date. Thank you Erin for taking the time and for spreading the love for these beautiful animals.
